I have just taken a brief for an exciting hands-on automation engineer with strong PLC capabilities position, based 5 days per week at our client's North Derbyshire manufacturing site. This global business is expanding rapidly and needs someone to support their cutting-edge manufacturing plant, with a focus on PLC systems.

In this role, you'll be responsible for the setup, programming, and maintenance of PLC systems, ensuring that production lines run seamlessly.
